Some selected essential elements in some fruit and vegetables which are commonly consumed by all income groups of rural and urban people of Bangladesh. PIXE technique has been employed to perform essential and trace elemental analysis of Zn, Ca, Fe, K, Cl, Cu, Mn and Br in some fruits and vegetables of Rajshahi region of Bangladesh. The concentration of the elements in each fruits and vegetables are investigated that in fruits Psidium guajava contains the highest amount of Ca (66800mg/kg) and Averrhoa carambola contain highest of K (28950mg/kg). In vegetables highest amount of Ca and K are exhibited by Brassica rapa (30541mg/kg) and Solanum tuberosum (31098mg/kg) respectively. The Fe content fairly good in all fruit samples varying from 250.30mg/kg in Emblica officinalis to 545mg/kg in Carica papaya and all vegetables samples varying from 319mg/kg in Lagenaria siceraria to 9230mg/kg in Daucus carota. Zn content in the studied samples is highest in Artocarpus heterophyllus (65mg/kg) in fruit and Daucus carota 110.05mg/kg in vegetables. Mn is found in all fruits and vegetables samples. Among them in vegetables Daucus carota contains highest amount (10mg/kg) of Mn and in fruits Olea europea contain highest amount (9mg/kg) of Mn. Copper content in the studied samples is found only in Cucurbita moschata (26.87mg/kg) in vegetables and Averrhoa carambola (20.56mg/kg) in fruit which probably plays a role in prevention of inflammation, given that Cu is a useful anti-inflammatory agent. Highest CI content is found in vegetables in Solanum tuberosum (7890mg/kg) and Averrhoa carambola (4567mg/kg) in fruit. The minimum chloride requirement for a healthy adult is 700mg/day. Bromine only found in Lycopersicon esculentum (118mg/kg) in vegetables. In all over the world such analysis is running routinely to ensure the good health and quality of life of human being.
